The wood needed for the project (a total of 4 kms of pineplank) will be provided by a partner of the Wood Festival, Jaf Holz Ungarn Ltd. The company, which is celebrating its 10th anniversary of establishment in Hungary, is a devoted supporter of the creative and alternative use of natural materials. Their new project, ‘I Love Wood’ has already provided a report about the Wood Festival of 2009 in Copenhagen. The Hungarian Wood Festival will thus be one out of many events which will be celebrating and promoting the use of wood as a material for architectural and design purposes.

Our highlighted sponsors are the Hungarian National Cultural Fund and the partners of MOME line – design works.
